aly323 great to hear from you, totally agree on how some clothes are unflattering in the early days of bumps appearance and then look much better later on. Sounds like you have nearly got the nursery finished. You will be glad to get work finished, I am feeling a lot more relaxed now so hope this last bit goes smoothly.
mrs waj enjoy your time off and all the best for Thursday, looking forward to finding out what you are having. How will you resist clothing the child until it is 2 before it is even born? Just realised you can totally take advantage of the Next sale in January as you will have the insider knowledge on what you can buy ? all I have is white! I predict a girl btw.
mumsnerves how awful is daytime tv, I am not a big tv person and have realised i might need to get a few boxsets for during the day once I have mastered looking after a newborn. Recently discovered Modern Family on Sky ? would def recommend if it is not already in your life.
crazy glad you got your pram sorted, the Stokke are super stylish! Our Quinny is still on holiday at my parents house, I really should go and get it and learn how it works. It is going to have to live in the boot of my car as we just don?t have the room for it inside. Was the clearance sale madness or did you and dh have a plan like in the wedding dress sale in Friends when they brought whistles?
hermya it is so cold to have a newborn, i have great plans in January for buggy marching round our local parks to try and get some exercise and back in shape but if it continues like this it will be central heating and sofa all the way. Have asked DH to get me a Zumba dvd for Christmas so I can exercise if i am housebound!Have also promised not to huff with him for buying the requested Zumba dvd if i am still pg on Christmas day and feeling fat and sorry for myself!
highheels you def get the prize for most amusing use of donuts in a while! How did it go with your friend?
mumsnerves sounds promising with the low down bubba and Braxton hicks. If you don?t mind me asking what does a Braxton hicks feel like? I don?t think I have had any, just a lot of squirming and i think my belly button is close to popping so maybe baby is descending, have measured 3/5 for the last 4 weeks and next antenatal is this Thursday. I am preparing myself for the long haul with this baby and trying not to get my heart set on it being here by Christmas even though I really really want it to be here in time for Santa! I even have All I want for Christmas as my phone ring tone to send it subliminal messages and dh and i thought the 10th (a week early)would be a great day for it to come so that we have 2 weeks of practice and maybe could get out the door on Christmas Day!
superpenguin three months to go already, i found that from 30 weeks time has flown so if the first bit went quickly for you i would fasten your seatbelt for an even faster ride to the finish!
halo i had a quick look on the maxi cosi site about your car but it doesn?t have that year listed but maybe you could check with the Vauxhall dealership?
Falling on Friday was a bit of a shock but I took the brunt of it on my right arm and shoulder and don?t remember falling just landing on powdery snow. The little one was moving around after a cold orange fanta and some spicy food so didn?t go to the hospital. When I fell i thought I had dropped something but couldn?t see anything on the pavement or road so just carried on. Turns out I dropped my car keys and only found out on Saturday night when my neighbour?s son came to the door as they had found them, tried the central locking and my car had opened up. Basically i left several thousand pounds gift wrapped for anyone to help themselves. Lucky lucky escape!
No Laura Marling for me tonight as she has postponed her Irish dates due to ill health and hopes to reschedule in the new year when I won?t need to arrange a seat with the organisers! Peter Kay was absolutely brilliant the other night and thankfully didn?t send me into labour although i did whack a man in the back of the head with my bump when trying to get back along the row of seats after the interval because the kn*bhead sitting beside me had two pints on the ground and made me step over them ? how hard is moving forward whilst balancing on one leg in a confined space at 38 weeks!
Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary and the last of the excitement before the baby comes, we are going out for a nice meal although i am eating like a bird as there is just no room! If the weather had been like this 3 years ago i reckon half of our guests wouldn?t have made it!
